Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a vehicle master control window lift switch. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional main window control switches are installed on the inner armrest of the door panel, and the windows are raised and lowered by tossing a button up and down. Because of the multiple buttons, this design occupies a large space, hinders flexible switch placement, and limits the diversity of interior styling. For different market demands (such as right-hand drive), both left and right door panels need to be compatible with the main window control switch to accommodate driver operation. This increases the development costs of peripheral components. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention provides a vehicle master control window switch to address the problems existing in the prior art. This invention is designed to meet the operational needs of drivers in different markets during the development of basic vehicle models, such as markets with right-hand drive driving habits. It also eliminates the need for a passenger-side window switch, thus reducing development costs. Furthermore, it transforms the traditional 2×2 layout of the master control window switch into a single-row, side-by-side layout, enriching the placement options for the window switches.

[0004] The technical solutions adopted in this utility model are as follows:

[0005] A vehicle master window lift switch, comprising:

[0006] Panel: A semi-enclosed cavity that houses the main body components and the housing;

[0007] Main body assembly: includes main body support and light guide, with pivot pins on the main body support for supporting and fixing other components;

[0008] Circuit board assembly: includes micro switch, pin, PCB board and protective rubber. The micro switch is placed on the PCB board, the pin connects to the vehicle wiring harness for communication, and the protective rubber covers the micro switch and is positioned by the rubber-molded column and the hole on the PCB board.

[0009] Glass lifting button assembly: There are six sets in total, located on both sides of the panel. Each set includes a button assembly and a rocker assembly. The rocker assembly is connected to the main body bracket by a pivot pin. One end presses the micro switch, and the other end is connected to the button assembly.

[0010] Fastening screws: used to fasten the housing.

[0011] The glass lifting button assembly is placed outside the panel for easy manual operation, while the circuit board assembly is placed inside the main body assembly and housing. The main body assembly and housing can effectively protect the internal components and provide a mounting base.

[0012] The rocker assembly is connected to the glass lifting button and the button assembly via a pivot pin on the main body bracket. The micro switch is pressed by force transmission, and the circuit is turned on through the stroke control circuit.

[0013] The PCB board has microswitches symmetrically positioned on both sides of the rocker assembly's operating area. In one possible way, the microswitch above the PCB board is triggered, causing the window glass to rise. In another possible way, the microswitch below the PCB board is triggered, causing the window glass to fall. Each set of window lifting button assemblies corresponds to a pair of microswitches above and below the PCB board. In any possible way, the rocker assembly will not cause the microswitches above and below the PCB board to be triggered simultaneously.

[0014] Furthermore, the PCB board is provided with micro switches at symmetrical positions on both sides of the rocker assembly where it can be operated. The inner two end faces of the rocker assembly are in contact with the outer surface of the micro switches. After pressing, the rocker assembly is reset by the elastic force of the micro switches themselves.

[0015] Furthermore, the main body assembly includes a main body support and a light guide. The rocker assembly is connected to the main body support, and the light guide is fixed on the panel to transmit light to the glass lifting button assembly, thereby improving the visibility and ease of operation of the button.

[0016] Furthermore, the glass lifting button assembly has four or six sets;

[0017] The four groups are: left front window power button, left rear window power button, right front window power button, and right rear window power button.

[0018] The six buttons are: left front window lift button, left rear window lift button, spare, right front window lift button, and right rear window lift switch.

[0019] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. By changing the traditional 2×2 layout of the main window lift switch to a straight-line layout, freeing it from the door panel armrest, it is placed in the center console, thus enriching the installation positions of the main window lift switch.

[0021] 2. A row of buttons on the left controls the raising and lowering of the left-side windows, and two buttons on the right control the raising and lowering of the right-side windows. This design is compatible with both left- and right-hand drive vehicles, catering to different market demands and reducing development costs.

[0022] 3. By setting up a rocker assembly, the traditional vertical guide mechanism is converted into a micro switch that swings around an axis to press the upper and lower sides of the circuit board, thereby reducing the Z-axis dimension of the main control window lifting switch.

[0033] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] Vehicle power window switches are typically a combination of switches that allow the driver to control the raising and lowering of all four windows at any time. The principle behind these switches is that pressing the power button activates a rocker arm that presses a microswitch on the circuit board, connecting the circuit and sending a signal to the control unit to control the window's movement. Traditionally, the power window switch is located on the inside of the door panel's armrest, and the window is raised or lowered by moving a button up or down.

[0035] This application provides a vehicle master window lift switch. By converting the traditional unidirectional vertical guide structure into an upward and downward two-way guide structure through the window lift button assembly 50, the thickness of the master window lift is reduced, and the traditional 2×2 layout is converted into a straight side-by-side layout, making it possible to place it in the center console. This enriches the installation positions of the master window lift switch and can also meet the needs of both left-hand and right-hand drive vehicles.

[0036] Figure 1 The diagram shows the composition of an embodiment of this application, which includes a panel 10, a body assembly 20, a circuit board assembly 30, a housing 40, protective rubber 50, and fastening screws 60.

[0037] The main body assembly 20 includes a main body bracket 22 and a light guide 21, and the rocker assembly 51 is mounted on the pivot pin A of the main body bracket 22.

[0038] The circuit board assembly 30 includes a micro switch 31, a pin 32, a PCB board 33, and a protective rubber 34. The protective rubber 34 covers the micro switch 31 on the PCB board 33 and is positioned by a rubber-molded column and a hole on the PCB board 33. Both are placed in the main body bracket 22. The rocker assembly 51's pressing end clamps the micro switch 31 covered by the protective rubber 34. The housing 40 is then assembled using fastening screws 60. It is then placed in the panel 10, and finally, the button assembly 52 is snapped onto the rocker assembly 51.

[0039] The main control window lift switch provided in the embodiments of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0040] The glass lifting button assembly 50 of this application embodiment has six groups. For ease of explanation, one group is used as an example.

[0041] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a main control window lifting action according to an embodiment of this application. A micro switch 31 is positioned above the PCB board 33. When the micro switch 31 is pressed by the rocker assembly 51, it can activate the control circuit, causing the corresponding window glass to rise. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the lowering action of a main control window lift switch according to an embodiment of this application. A micro switch 31 is placed below the PCB board 33. When the micro switch 31 is pressed by the rocker assembly 51, it can activate the control circuit, causing the corresponding window glass to lower.

[0042] The rocker assembly 51 is connected to the shaft pin A of the main body bracket 22. One end of the rocker assembly 51 is connected to the external button assembly 52, and the other end acts on the micro switch 31. The micro switch moves under pressure to conduct the circuit on the PCB board 33, thereby controlling the glass lifting button assembly corresponding to the glass lifting.

[0043] The rocker assembly 51 has shaft holes at both ends, which are connected to the shaft pin A of the main body bracket 22 to realize the rocker assembly swinging up and down.

[0044] The bracket body 22 is provided with positioning ribs to prevent the rocker assembly 51 from swinging too much. The two inner end faces of the rocker assembly 51 are in contact with the upper surface of the micro switch 31. After pressing, the rocker assembly 51 is reset by the elastic force of the micro switch 31 itself.

[0045] It should be noted that this application embodiment consists of at least four sets of window lift button assemblies for controlling the four windows of the vehicle. The buttons, arranged side-by-side from left to right, are the left front door window lift button, left rear door window lift button, right front door window lift button, and right rear door window lift button. Additionally, identical window lift button assemblies can be added in the middle of the side-by-side arrangement for other vehicle functions as needed. This transforms the traditional 2x2 layout on the door inner panel armrest into a single-row layout. The implementation at the center console is suitable for both left- and right-hand drive vehicles without affecting the operation of front-seat occupants. It achieves a reasonable and compact layout while eliminating the need for a separate window lift switch on the passenger side.

[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
